Turn that crap down!!! You call that music??? Get off my lawn! When I was your age I had 17 kids, 6 jobs, 192 mortgages and I was grateful!


Personally, I'm enjoying this "handing off" to the younger generation. My hope is they grab control of the Democratic Party and fuel this return to progressive values. Love me some "kids"!

Together, we will return to the days when OUR COUNTRY's top priority is it's citizens.

At work I encourage all the young folks to get involved and take charge. It's pretty easy to motivate them when we're working with broken, dangerous equipment, working for 8-12 hours with no breaks or meals, getting literally screamed at by management and customers and then looking at a paycheck that doesn't cover the bills. The System does most of the work for me.

Hill supporters are saying they didn't, because they were a 'small percentage' of voters. Reality, though, was that Bernie was a draw for people of all ages, not JUST young people, so their percentage of the overall numbers was smaller. Not a problem for Bernie, but actually better news than if his win HAD depended upon young people.
